AuthorTopic: Brand New--Question about installation (Read 1498 times)

I am brand new to Vector and relatively new to Linux. I do have a very old laptop (6-8 years old) that sits on my kitchen table and I use for very basic use during breakfast to read email and some light web-surfing. It is currently dual-booted with Mint Julia and Peppermint 2; both fairly old distros.

I would like to replace both of these distros. I would like to install Vector in one partition (replace either Julia or Peppermint) and will probably replace the other one with one of the Puppy/Slacko distros.

I apologize if this has been asked before, but could you point me to a link or tell me how to install Vector over top of one of my existing distros? I am pretty sure that I used Grub for the dual-boot.

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

P.S. I am typing this using the Live CD of Vector. Can I install with this Live CD or do I need the "gold" edition?

I don't know how to help here as I only have VL7 on my machine. However, I do know that installing VL 7 over an existing distro has nothing to do with it. What has to do with it is the fact that you want to end up with two distros on the same machine.
